Question

6 weeks 5 days and no fetal heartbeat

Share

Hi, as of today I am supposed to be 6 weeks 5 days along in my pregnancy. On December 31, 2012, I went to the doctor for an ultrasound and saw and heard a fetal heartbeat. My doctor said that the fetal heartbeat was over 100. Today, I went in for another transvaginal ultrasound with a different doctor (a specialist) and he could not see nor hear a fetal heartbeat. He told me that he thinks that this pregnancy is not viable. I am just wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing and what the end result was. I have been trying to conceive for over 10 years and this was my miracle baby. I am distraught about what the doctor has said, but I just can't help wonder if I was just lucky to see and hear the baby's heartbeat two days ago. Could it still be too early or my uterus be positioned in a way that we were not able to see it today?
